Master of Music in Performance
GENERAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The Master of Music degree is offered with majors in performance (including conducting) and composition.
Information regarding the major in composition may be found in the Composition Student Handbook. Performance
majors may specialize in piano, collaborative piano, organ, harpsichord, voice, conducting or any of the following
orchestral instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, horn, trumpet,
trombone, euphonium, tuba, percussion, harp, guitar or woodwinds.
MM Degree Requirements
The Graduate Catalog provides complete information concerning procedures, administrative details and other
requirements for individual programs.
Degree Plan
Students seeking the master’s degree should consult their applied lesson teacher (major professor) in preparing a
tentative program to meet the degree requirements and selecting an advisory committee. By the completion of twelve
hours of study, the student should select an advisory committee (at least three members) and file a degree plan. The
degree plan, listing all courses required for the degree, must be approved by the student’s major professor and
submitted to the Director of Graduate Studies in Music. Forms for this purpose are available in the College of Music
Graduate Studies Office, Music Building, room 216A.
All changes in the degree plan must be submitted in writing, approved by the major professor and the Graduate
Performance Committee Chair, and filed with the Graduate Studies Office. Degree requirements are determined by
the Graduate Catalog in force at the time the degree plan is approved by the graduate dean. Degree plans may not be
filed in the semester a student plans to graduate.
Final Oral Examination and Graduation
Before the degree is granted, the performance candidate must pass a final oral comprehensive examination covering
the field of concentration. The examination may be taken no more than three times. The student must take the
examination after the completion of the master’s degree recital. When scheduling the oral examination
date, the student must be aware of that semester’s Toulouse School deadline for filing the results of the oral
examination in order to graduate. The academic calendar for each semester is available online, as well as in the front
of each year’s Graduate Catalog.
All master’s degree students must file a graduation application with the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies during
the semester in which they plan to graduate. Deadlines vary for each term, but they typically fall within the first
quarter of the semester. Upon receipt of the student’s graduation application, the Toulouse School sends the
student’s oral examination form to the College of Music Graduate Studies Office. The student’s major professor
should contact the COM Graduate Studies Office within several days of the oral examination to obtain the form. The
academic calendar for each semester is available online, as well as in the front of each year’s Graduate Catalog.
